Atlanta, GA; Washington, D.C., January 12, 2010 – Allison & Partners, one of the nation’s fastest growing strategic communications, public relations and public affairs firms, has named healthcare, advocacy and public affairs expert Brian Feldman as a partner in the firm.

Feldman is the first non-founder to become a partner in the nine years since the firm began. He manages two of the firm’s eight national offices: Atlanta and Washington, D.C., where he leads the agency’s healthcare and public affairs practices. In just over a year, he has spearheaded the firm’s historic work on health reform, boasting an impressive roster of clients that include PhRMA, Healthcare Leadership Council and Healthways.  He also successfully integrated his existing practice and staff into Allison & Partners’ national network of senior professionals, all while proactively adding new organizations and brands to the firm’s growing public affairs and healthcare practices.

“We congratulate Brian, who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to building our presence and our reputation in the healthcare and public affairs sectors,” said Andy Hardie-Brown, Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of Allison & Partners. “His entrepreneurial abilities and commitment to the firm’s growth have brought a new dimension to our business, making his partnership an important milestone for the firm,” he added.

“What originally attracted me to Allison & Partners was the outstanding range of services that the firm offers to its clients and the opportunity to build on its strong track record with major brands,” said Feldman. “I’ve been able to offer our healthcare and public affairs clients a greater depth of capabilities and value, and I’m honored to play a more central role in building the firm’s future,” he added.

Feldman is an experienced public affairs and media relations strategist and sought-after speaker on topics including federal legislation, healthcare and strategic communications. Known for his high-level reputation management work and strong relationships with grassroots organizations, Feldman has provided senior strategy in grassroots, advocacy and political issues to Allison & Partners’ clients throughout the nation.
